Syphilitic proctitis is a rare disease that usually presents as proctitis, ulcer, and neoplasm but lacks pathognomonic clinical symptoms. It is thus difficult to diagnose and may be treated inappropriately. We report a 31-year-old man who had a hard, ulcerated mass that occupied the rectal and sigmoid colon wall and mimicked a tumor. Fortunately, a biopsy of the mass demonstrated Treponema pallidum organisms consistent with syphilitic proctitis. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous benzyl penicillin, resulting in improvement in his proctitis.
梅毒性直肠炎是一种罕见疾病,通常表现为直肠炎、溃疡和肿瘤,但缺乏特异性临床症状。因此,该病难以诊断,且可能得不到恰当治疗。我们报告一名31岁男性,其直肠和乙状结肠壁有一个坚硬的溃疡性肿物,疑似肿瘤。幸运的是,肿物活检显示梅毒螺旋体,符合梅毒性直肠炎。该患者接受静脉注射苄星青霉素治疗后痊愈,直肠炎症状改善。
